Contextual therapy posits that a truly comprehensive grasp of human existence is composed of individual and relational realities. The Relational Ethics Scale (RES) is the only validated instrument to measure relational ethics, one of the relational realities’ four dimensions, which was theorized by Boszormenyi-Nagy. The RES measures people’s perception about constructs of loyalty, entitlement, trust and justice in their family of origin and in their current and significant relationships. Relational ethics has been shown to have implications for mature development, psychological health and family functioning. The aim of this research was to adapt the RES for use with Spaniards residing in Spain ( N = 1181). Psychometric properties were analyzed, and construct validity was assessed using the Spanish-Differentiation Self Inventory. Results obtained indicate the Spanish Relational Ethics Scale (S-RES) is a valid and reliable tool for relational ethics assessment in Spanish populations. Couple and family counselors in Spain may consider the clinical assessment of relational ethics using the S-RES in order to explore issues of fairness, trust, roles, and re-balance when working to support complex family systems. Future research directions using the newly validated S-RES are discussed.

西班牙对关系伦理量表的改编

情境疗法假定对人类存在的真正全面掌握是由个体现实和关系现实组成的。关系伦理量表 (RES) 是唯一经过验证的衡量关系伦理的工具，关系伦理是关系现实的四个维度之一，由 Boszormenyi-Nagy 理论化。RES 衡量人们对其原生家庭及其当前和重要关系中的忠诚、权利、信任和正义结构的看法。关系伦理已被证明对成熟发展、心理健康和家庭功能有影响。这项研究的目的是使 RES 适应居住在西班牙的西班牙人 (N = 1181)。分析了心理测量特性，并使用西班牙差异自我量表评估了结构有效性。获得的结果表明西班牙关系伦理量表 (S-RES) 是西班牙人群关系伦理评估的有效且可靠的工具。西班牙的夫妻和家庭顾问可能会考虑使用 S-RES 对关系伦理进行临床评估，以便在支持复杂的家庭系统时探索公平、信任、角色和重新平衡的问题。讨论了使用新验证的 S-RES 的未来研究方向。
